Review El Chicano Restaurant - Willits

We had a lovely time. Great food. Pastor was a bit sweeter than I'm used to but delicious. Had chicken enchiladas suizas, delicious. Pastor Taco. Loved it. Partner had chicken tamales, loved them. We left full and happy.

Food was EXCELLENT! Mole enchiladas were delicious and flavorful. Chicken was tender white meat in the enchiladas. The Chile Verde enchiladas were also really good! Environment was good and peaceful. Staff were kind and energetic. Pricing was good for alot of food. If your in the area, stop in and have some great Mexican food!

Any time I pass through Willits it is mandatory to come here for their mole. I come from Sacramento and this is hands down some of best Mexican food I've ever had. Today's visit was particularly nice due to the employees there today. Very kind young people who take pride in what they do and act like a family. I'm always so impressed with this place. I'd drive 2 hours just to come here

Best al pastor tacos I’ve ever had! We came from our long trip to San Francisco and we’re STARVING. This placed exceeded our expectations. Sizes were HUGE! We loved it and highly recommend it.

I was not expecting this place in willits. This place was excellent can't wait to go back. Someone told us about this place. Been through this town many times and passed it by. The service was great very friendly and the food was just what I was looking for nice and spicy Mexican food came out hot lot of food I had an enchilada and chile relleno and the chili relleno was great. Don't get me wrong the enchilada was good too. Kind of hard to screw up one of those but chile relleno was fantastic I have had bad ones in other places. Definitely going through willits you must stop it's worth it and the prices were good.

I'm so happy this was where we stopped during our road trip. I had the crispy taco with rice and beans, and my partner had the enchiladas. Got a mango margaritas that was perfect texture. Partner got a beer 32 oz that was chilled to perfection. This place reminded me of San diego 20 years ago. Pulled chicken was well seasoned. I have absolutely nothing but good vibes for this place. They have clean bathrooms and a colorful atmosphere, and our waitress was sweet and attentive. This will 100% be a place to stop if you're making a road trip and need a good meal. Didn't take long to get our food and drinks. Chips, salsa, and bean dip were offered to us while we wait for entrees. Trust me, this is the go-to pit stop!

Great place to get vegan mexican food when driving late at night down south from the humboldt redwood state park. Most other restaurants were closed after 8pm. This was the one of the few places in willitis that was open after 10pm. We ordered the veggie tacos and ordered the salsa roja and salsa verde enchiladas. The waiter understood our vegan preferences and customized the enchiladas to our needs. He even mentioned that the refried beans are made from canola oil and not lard. The rice was unfortunately cooked with chicken broth, so we opted to substitute it with refried pinto beans instead. They offer free chips and salsa (3 different types + refried pinto beans which was very tasty). They do charge extra for the rice + beans combo (or beans and beans combo in our case) from the enchiladas. Overall, excellent customer service and would definitely visit again if we go through willitis.

Loved the food here. Tried the following items: Veggie Taco: Super tasty! Baby Corn on the taco was super interesting. Broccolini was also roasted perfectly. Refried Pinto and Black beans: Refried Pinto was my favorite and definitely recommend this to everyone. Salsa Verde Enchilada: Wish they’d given more sauce.. nevertheless the taste was very good. Salsa Roja Enchilada: Again tasted so good with all those veggies. Totally recommend.

Excellent food, portions are big, staff is friendly, entire establishment is clean, prices are reasonable, ambiance is very calm and enjoyable. I had dinner and breakfast here and would highly recommend you stop in any time of day. Such a nice place to stop and eat.

My family stopped here on a night of our road trip. We decided to get take out so we could continue on our way. The staff was very friendly, easy going, and straightforward. The restaurant was clean inside and out. The prices were very reasonable for the food and experience. The food was pretty good. The only thing I wish would be different would be a bit more flavor for the rice and beans but overall I would come here again. The nachos were amazing and so was the Chimichanga. Certainly worth trying!
